Kicking off part two of the "1 shirt, 13 women" project in which 13 different, but equally amazing women integrate a simple, white men's into their lives, and create their story of it, which now they will share with us all.
Part 1 of the project you might have seen about two years ago (on this link you'll find all the 13 women of part 1). The idea behind it was making a proof that it is the woman who makes the clothes, not clothes that make the woman. And the best way to prove it is to ask 13 women to participate, give them the exactly same white shirt and just watch. And click. And talk. And click some more. The difference from part 1 was not only looking at the ways you can wear a white shirt, but more focus on its story in their lives.
I loved the proces and am very thankful that I could have spent the time with these women - in Bratislava, Prague and London. Here the results, hope you'll find them inspiring.

Lenka Padyšáková is a young Slovak, incredibly talented and hard-working costume designer living in London, working on movie productions (oh yeah, she has her own profile on imdb, check it out and check out her pictures at work on that profile!). We met at her favorite movie rental place on Brick Lane. It felt like meeting a movie character, a little Marry Poppins perhaps, with her red suitcase and red lips and her simple white shirt turned into a very visual statement piece. She does a little bit seems like from another movie
world, straight out of her favorite era of 20s through the 50s.

Paulina, who studies Fashion Studies in Stockholm, and is the designer of her label, me&m, was home for Christmas. But because things change, we didn't manage to meet this year (sad face) so guess what, I remembered these pictures I shot last year (happy face) that I was kind of saving. As you can see, minimalism works give or take a year (sans the snow).
Here, Paulina is wearing all me&m design, and I especially like the detail of the leather laces on her fake fur coat. You might remember this post with Paulina also all in me&m.

Young fashion designer Boris Hanečka is a very pleasant partner in discussions not only about fashion, but platonic love, the French guillotine or gobelins. All captures on video for future generations, yup. (and sorry, only in Slovak). To give you the backgroun: the video was shot on the occasion of Boris designing the dress for the Adela, the hostess of the award ceremony of The Tatra banka Foundation's Awards for Art.
